15:13 After ¹  a few days, ²  the younger son gathered together all he had and left on a journey to a distant country, and there he squandered ³  his wealth ⁴  with a wild lifestyle.

Lukas 16:19

The Rich Man and Lazarus

16:19 “There was a rich man who dressed in purple ⁵  and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously ⁶  every day.

¹ tn Grk “And after.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

² tn Grk “after not many days.”

³ tn Or “wasted.” This verb is graphic; it means to scatter (L&N 57.151).

⁴ tn Or “estate” (the same word has been translated “estate” in v. 12).

⁵ sn Purple describes a fine, expensive dye used on luxurious clothing, and by metonymy, refers to clothing colored with that dye. It pictures someone of great wealth.

⁶ tn Or “celebrated with ostentation” (L&N 88.255), that is, with showing off. Here was the original conspicuous consumer.
